>> reporter: that is right, don. for the final nine days of the campaign, throw out the white dry erase board and perhaps take the doppler weather radar and lay it over the battleground map because that's how we track this campaign heading into the homestretch here. both campaigns, if you add them together of roughly a dozen campaign events so far between the president and mitt romney, mitt right now is heading to the gymnasium here in marion, ohio, with an event here tomorrow morning and then is getting out of the state. but, don, it will be very interesting to watch the final days of the campaign because of this storm. you saw the president also canceling events. not here in ohio, but his campaign events that were scheduled for today. instead of those campaign events, he went to church and the federal emergency agency to check on storm preparations there. now, the very interesting question that comes up next in this final stretch of the campaign, don, is where are these candidates headed next? we know mitt romney i

again, our debt, which is growing every minute, is about $16 trillion right now. so, romney has to find some massive cuts to pay for his promises before he can tackle our nation's greatest security threat. now, to be fair, he has some ideas for cuts. on his campaign website, he lists repeal obama care savings. $95 billion. reduce subsidies for the national endowments for the arts and humanities, that's big bird and the legal services corporations, savings, $600 billion. and empower states to innovate savings. about $100 billion. now, the list goes on, but it doesn't add up because again, romney doesn't even say he will balance the budget -- the bottom line is this. the two men running for the president of the united states don't seem to have plan to deal with the national security threat. we did the math yesterday showing -- a former republican senator from missouri and senator, really appreciate you taking the the time. we don't have the full details, we did for president obama. but given that the deficit is the top issue for so many in this country, how are they
